Music plays an important role in our lives, especially the lyrics. This blog will display the lyrics of my favorite songs. I am descended from a sept of the clan Gunn of Scotland, so I will post a lot of Scottish folk song lyrics. Enjoy.

Toon O' Kelso (Trad)

It was in the toon o' KelsoA lovely woman did dwellShe loved her husband dearlyBut another man twice as well

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

She went doon tae the chemist's shopSome medicine for tae buyFor she had resolved in her ain mindThat her auld man should die

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

She bought a dozen marrow bonesAnd she's ground them up right sma'And before he'd eaten the half o' themHe couldnae see ony at a'

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

Im tired o' my life he criedI'm tired o' my lifeI think I'll awa' and drown myselfAnd that will end this strife

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

So down the street together they wentShe whistled and she sangOh my husbands going to drown himselfI'll help tae push him in

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

Well doon the street together they wentTil they came to the waters brimSaid he, You'll take a great long raceTo help to ding me in

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

So she went back a great lang raceTae help tae ding him inBut the cunning old bugger he jumped asideAnd she gaed tumblin' in

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

Oh save ma life, oh save ma lifeOh save me when I callOh how can I save your lifeWhen I canna see ony at a'

Singin, fal di la lairly, fal di la lairy, fal di la lairy, an

Well she swam up and she swam doonTil she cam tae the waters brimBut the cunning old man he got a long stickAnd he poked her further in
